Shounen Onmyouji

Both shows features a bishounen with a supernatural servant/friend of sorts with a close relationship nearing shounen-ai (although this isn't the case). The main characters are both onmyoujis, and both shows have an arc-based/episodic setting where the characters help others or generally fight to protect themselves from monsters or the antagonists, while having character development present throughout the series.
slashable bishies~
boy commands a supernatural creature everyone else is afraid of. Kantarou and Masahiro both fight evil spirits and demons with Onmyoudo (a sort of buddhistic-mystic art to tell fortune, cast spells and terminate evil spirits). Shounen Onmyouji plays during the Heian Era and Tactics during the Meji Era = historical Japan with people wearing yukata etc.
In both animes the main character has supernatural power and fights against bad spirits that attack humans. The main character is accompanied by a powerful supernatural being who helps him in some situations. Both animes pay signinficant attention to the relations between those two characters, and the relations are sometimes quite complicated.
Same pattern but not the plot!!! It's the same in field which is exorcising demons, also the protagonists have protectors either a demon or a god.

Shonen Onmyouji reminds me of Tactics in many ways. The same setting, exorcising ayakashi, demon/god in the form of cute little pet, same gibberish chants, shonen protagonist with almost the same personality, and not forgetting the distinct master and servant relationship between humans and demons/gods. Heck, even the ending bears obvious similarities - sad conclusion left opened for a potential sequel. Enjoy one and you'll definitely enjoy the other.
Both stories are centered around two young male exorcists and both have an older companion with them. Both series have lots of demons from Japanese folklore.

The set up for these two seems very similar in the synopsis but they aren't as similar overall when you watch them as it makes it seem. Having said that, they are similar enough that if you like one you'll probably like the other one, but different enough that you cans still enjoy both of them with out it being to repetitive.
These 2 animes are really similar: they have young protagonist with spiritual power and older guy to protect him. Their endings are also similar in some way or another. Well, at least for me. And both of them should have 2nd season. I'm pretty sure that if You like one of them, another one should also catch your interest. At least You will have somthing to compare.
